Vickery Parke

What do DPH's records say about Vickery Parke?

Vickery Parke is on the state's active roster as license CRC-2323 with 52 licensed beds, which makes it smaller than the 64-bed middle of the Upstate CRCF roster we cover.

DPH issues CRCF licenses for one-year terms; the present term began January 1, 2026. A facility may not house more residents than its licensed beds, and the license names one licensee at one address, so a sale or move means a new license.

DPH assigns license numbers in sequence. CRC-2323 is number 48 of 61 when the four-county senior CRCF roster is sorted from the lowest number to the highest, a rough guide to how long this license line has existed rather than the age of the building.

Can Vickery Parke care for someone with dementia?

Not according to DPH: the state's licensing data shows no Alzheimer's special care unit at Vickery Parke, so a resident who begins exit-seeking would usually need a facility with a secured unit.

Mild memory loss alone does not rule out an unsecured CRCF; the tests are whether the person is a danger to themselves and whether staff can meet their needs. The nearest licensed CRCFs with a flagged special care unit are Clemson Heritage (0.5 mi), Barclay at Clemson (1.6 mi), Clemson Downs Assisted Living (2.1 mi).

Are there any DPH enforcement orders on file for Vickery Parke?

None that we found: Vickery Parke does not appear in DPH's monthly Healthcare Quality enforcement reports from January 2025 to September 2026.

Enforcement orders are reserved for serious or repeated problems. Ordinary inspection findings are corrected through a plan of correction and never reach the monthly report, so a clean enforcement record is not the same as a clean inspection.

Does DPH publish inspections for Vickery Parke?

Ask DPH Healthcare Quality in writing: South Carolina does not post CRCF inspection reports online, but Regulation 60-84 (Section 202.E) makes reports of inspections and investigations, with the facility's response, available to the public on written request, with individuals' names redacted.

Because inspections happen “as deemed appropriate” rather than on a fixed cycle, ask the facility the date of its most recent DPH visit, which deficiencies were cited, and to see the signed plan of correction.

What are the alternatives to Vickery Parke nearby?

What should we ask on a tour of Vickery Parke?

Use the state data to steer the tour: request the latest DPH inspection or complaint-investigation report and the plan of correction that answered it.

• Ask to see a week's staffing schedule; with 52 beds the regulation's floor is 7 staff at peak and 2 off-peak.
• Ask what happens if a private-pay resident's money runs out, and whether the building accepts OSS residents.
• Take the admission agreement home before signing and check the level-of-care fees, the refund policy and the 30-day notice clause.
